Hence the sarcasm quotes. šŸ™‚ (Iā€™ve seen it said that right-wing conspiracy theories posit a vast conspiracy of wealthy people who secretly run things, and ignore the wealthy people who overtly and publicly do.) ---

Greg Gutfeld of Fox, (and a few other people,) think Greta Thunberg has to do with this, somehow. These people are awful and I hope they get whatever they deserve. They probably wonā€™t, but one can dream. ---

I donā€™t think the videoā€™s up yet. Itā€™s difficult to make sense of his argument to summarize, but: This is what happens when you let a child take up space in oneā€™s brain, (I would imagine sheā€™s running through his brain often). All the adults that took her opinion over the advancements of fracking and drilling or the necessity of coal are foolish. He then screems ā€œHow dare you!ā€ A few times. That Russia and China are laughing at us listening to a ā€œ14 year oldā€ talk about world affairs. ā€œWe got to go back to nuclear.ā€ Sooner back to nuclear, we will be independent, like we almost were in, ā€œthe good old daysā€. ---

> [@SwissMan](#): > > Iā€™m too lazy to look it up myself, but what is the reasoning here exactly? Iā€™m imagining it has something to do with oil. I think the reasoning from some of the mental morons at Fox is that they have to find someone else to blame other than Putin, because theyā€™ve been told to find someone else to blame other than Putin. So theyā€™re flailing about. ---

These people are basically the modern equivalent of going to a circus in the distant past to see a guy in a booth dressed in his underwear rolling around in the mud and biting the heads off chickens. They are currently fighting to see who can be the most repellant, to attract the most eyeballs. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > ā€œItā€™s Bidenā€™s fault that he failed to stop a horrific invasion that we wholeheartedly supportā€ and their audience doesnā€™t seem to notice or care. Trump is a Putin apologist. Russia was ejected from the G8 because of the Crimea invasion. As President, Trump lobbied hard to get Russia readmitted. And donā€™t forget that Trump wanted to end NATO. The only winner of such a move would be Russia. He couldnā€™t have done much more to help Putin than his efforts against NATO. If I understand it correctly, Bolton believes that if Trump was President, he would have given his blessing to the invasion. I see no reason to think that Bolton is wrong about that. ---

Hereā€™s an interesting and quick read on the Bolton/tRump/Putin/Ukraine thing: > **[John Bolton says Trump 'barely knew where Ukraine was' and complained about...](https://www.businessinsider.com/john-bolton-trump-newsmax-barely-knew-where-ukraine-was-video-2022-3)** > > "It's just not accurate to say that Trump's behavior somehow deterred the Russians," Bolton, who served as Trump's national security advisor, said. I think Bolton is probably a wee bit insane, but he doesnā€™t have a long history of being a pathological liar. That would be Trump. ---

ETA: Found my own cite. > His new spin is that Putin is bad, but without him Russia would fall into chaos and start shooting nukes everywhere, so for the good of the world we should let him do whatever he wants. Either heā€™s on Putinā€™s payroll or Putinā€™s got him by the short and curlyā€™s. Thatā€™s the only explanation I can come up with.
